"A Crowning Moment"

With hearts full of gratitude and joy, we extend our warmest congratulations to Deacon Dave and Debra Cloyne on the celebration of their 50th wedding anniversary - a golden jubilee that shines with faith, perseverance, and love.

Fifty years of marriage is a sacred milestone, one that reflects not only enduring commitment to one another, but also a shared “yes” to God’s call. Through seasons of joy and challenge, laughter and sacrifice, you have walked hand in hand, rooted in prayer and strengthened by grace. Your marriage stands as a living witness to the beauty of a
covenant lived faithfully, generously, and with open hearts.

Deacon Dave, your ministry has been a true gift. Through your preaching, service at the altar, care for the sick, and quiet acts of compassion, you have embodied Christ the Servant. Yet it is impossible to speak of that ministry without honoring Debra, whose steadfast support, kindness, and faith have been an essential part of that call. Together, you have shown us that ordained ministry is never lived alone, but flourishes within the love of a strong and holy marriage.

Your service to Saint Charles Parish has touched countless lives. You have enriched the spiritual life of the community not only through what you do, but through who you are - humble, joyful, welcoming, and deeply rooted in Christ. Many have been strengthened by your example, encouraged by your presence, and inspired by your unwavering devotion to God and to one another.

May this golden anniversary be filled with thanksgiving for all that has been, joy in the present moment, and hope for the years still to come. May God continue to bless you with health, peace, and the quiet happiness that comes from a life well given.

Congratulations, Deacon Dave and Debra, and thank you for fifty beautiful years of love and faithful service.
